There\u2019s a new Aston Martin out. So obviously the internet is going bananas. This, everyone, is the new Aston Martin Vantage.<\/p>\n

And you\u2019ll notice, straight from the off that it looks familiar. Indeed, if we had to say or be shot, we\u2019d think it was pretty much a carbon copy of the DB10 that featured in the last James Bond film, Spectre.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a very good reason for that, though. That DB10 was modelled on this new Vantage. The story is that the James Bond producers went to Aston Martin looking for something new and futuristic that the superspy could drive. Aston wanted to keep the wraps on the DB11, so instead, the producers were shown the designs for the new Vantage. And so, the DB10 was born.<\/p>\n

But unlike the DB10, the new Vantage is not an old DBS in a fancy new suit. If you look closely, you\u2019ll notice much sharper styling, particularly at the rear. The design is a departure from Astons of old, but you have to admit that it still looks stunning. And, underneath, the Vantage is completely new.<\/p>\n

The structure, for one thing, is derived from the DB11 \u2013 it\u2019s mostly aluminum, but in the Vantage, it\u2019s 280mm shorter, meaning it\u2019s lighter and has a shorter wheelbase. That should give you an idea as to the Vantage\u2019s intent \u2013 whereas the DB11 is a luxurious mile-muncher, the Vantage is a pointy, spikey sports car.<\/p>\n

The engine is all-new as well. Out goes the 4.3-litre V8, which had been around since the beginning of time, and in comes an AMG-sourced 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8. It\u2019s been tuned by Aston to develop 503 bhp and 505 ft-lb of torque. Which is a lot for such a small car.<\/p>\n

Claimed performance is 0-100 km\/h in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 314 km\/h.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s all sorts of engineering trickery going on with the chassis and suspension as well. Given the Vantage\u2019s remit is sportier than the DB11\u2019s, it\u2019s been tuned to be aggressive and sharp. As ever with the Vantage, Aston is taking aim at the Porsche 911s of this world.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s really exciting about this Vantage, though, is that it\u2019s another example of the rebirth of Aston Martin. For the last 15 years, the company has been struggling to keep up with the other giants of the supercar world, simply giving us new iterations of very old cars. Now, though, the new cash (and new management) that the company has got its hands on, is making good on its promise to revitalise the range.<\/p>\n

As a result, on top of last year\u2019s DB11 and this year\u2019s Vantage, we\u2019ll soon be seeing a new Vanquish, a DBX (a mid-engined sports car), and two Lagondas (Aston\u2019s four-door sports saloons).<\/p>\n

For now, though, feel free to bask in the magnificence of the new Vantage. Shown here in brilliant Hulk Green.<\/p>\n
